[Air-L] Ideas, texts and data for course on "Critical social media studies and methods"

[Jakob Linaa]

Dear all

I am to teach a new course in the fall with theoretical perspectives
(I am pretty strong on that) combined with methodological approaches.

The idea is a part one on critical algorithm studies (quite
theoretical) and a part two where we discuss various kinds of social
media data and methods for data retrieval and analysis. My ideas so
far include network analysis, content analysis, media-go-along and
hopefully some machine learning as well. I also want to focus on data
retrieval, data cleaning and data formats. I have thought of including
crash courses in R and Tableau.

As I have taught no methods courses for a couple of years I am eager
to learn what perspectives others include and not at least where to
get data examples in a time with API closure. Pls hit me with your
examples, ideas, syllabi etc. On the list, mail, private message,
whatever ... Thanks

All the best

Jakob
